Please be advised that the subsidy for printing supplied by the library is not applied to Royal Cards until Monday morning 8/22. If you need to print before Monday you can add money to your card at the VTN station in the library, or you can use a scanner and email documents to yourself for easy printing on Monday.

Bike Scranton is Back!
Bike Scranton is a cooperative program between the University of Scranton Office of Sustainability, and the Lackawanna Valley Heritage Authority. All University of Scranton students, faculty, and staff as well as Lackawanna County Library System card holders may borrow a bicycle as long as they are at least 18 years of age. Visitors to Scranton over the age of 18 may also borrow bicycles, as long as they can provide a valid photo ID. Each bicycle comes with a lock and an adjustable helmet upon checkout. Bikes may be borrowed whenever the library is open, and all bicycles must be returned before the library closes that same day. For the 2016 season the library has 9 bikes (of different sizes) to lend. There is no charge for borrowing bikes. Please ask at the Weinberg Memorial Library Circulation Desk if you have any questions.
Power Shut Down
Friday March 25, the 24 hour spaces in the library will not be accessible between the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. due to a power shut down.
New Sample Chair
We are planning to replace some older chairs in the 4th floor quiet study room, and have a sample chair available for testing. Please leave feedback on the flip chart provided. Thanks!
Bike Scranton Season Wraps Up
The University’s 2015 participation in this bike share program was very successful. In 5 months we loaned bikes 312 times, with 188 of those loans being to undergraduates. Special thanks to the Lackawanna Heritage Valley for inviting the University to partner on this new program. Bike Scranton will be back in April of 2016. Thanks to everyone for your positive response to this green initiative!
Encore Library Catalog Down
If you are looking for items that the Library has in its catalog, the Encore catalog is having technical problems and is not available. The older version of the catalog called the “classic catalog” is available and everything the Library owns may be searched using this version. To get to the classic catalog, click “Advanced Search” or go directly to http://weinberg.scranton.edu/search/
Library Hours Expanded
In response to student feedback the entire second floor of the library is now open 24/7, allowing for more access to carrels, computers, and space for quiet study. This is in addition to 24/7 access to the Reilly Learning Commons and the Pro Deo Room, both on the first floor. After hours, just swipe your Royal Card outside Reilly on the Commons side, or outside Pro Deo on the Monroe side to enter. Welcome new students, and welcome back to those returning!
